Besides that the CRTC's licence obliged them to investing around 60% on Canadian content the year, Teletoon/Télétoon quickly played a lot of things Scooby-Doo, Tom & Jerry and also a fair batch of Warner Bros. compilated shorts, mostly The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show and the original 1966s CBS The Road Runner Show. I loved this network first because that was a need at that time, and where we didn't getting YTV on our basic Cable because of Cogeco. (Remember! That was back in the mid-1990s.) When the official first website of the network was made, the company enriched us with a history of the animation as complete at possible. It was a primitive, but fun ride. Thesedays, Télétoon is at the mercy of Corus, them who gets the nerves to play anything for cheap.
Now the english Teletoon gone and re-branded for a basic Cartoon Network Canada, all I want to know is if there's really still an audience for Télétoon in our age. I have stop to watch this channel by years like 2007, when things like Totally Spies! or that ugliest entries like Johnny Test beginning to heavily taking the airs, and where Canadian animated studios started to employed (badly) the use of Flash tools in order to make shortcuts for any "actual" animation. When Braceface was came back in 2022 with others past Corus' properties, I do was glad that the series makes a return for a newer audience, after taking long its eventual return in air, but now gone's again, it's as the 2000s nostalgia fad became one, not because for some Feel-Good memories, but to remembering from your eyes to how youths contents at that time were played and acted at very awful. And more importantly, only the current things matters if just playing twenty-five years old reruns don't paid on anything the announcers.
Their Télétoon At Night block is thus far, less charitable, if that consists mostly of reruns of The Simpsons, Family Guy or American Dad. I would like them to playing more adult shows for a change, but in the reality of today's Canadian Television, the media crisis is so menacing that specialties networks are obliged to play a limited amount of contents each season. There was a time when Télétoon was able to offering everything for everyone. Now, it's no longer the case. All you seen there are reruns of past shows that you forget that they actually exists and lots of Teen Titans Go!. Fine show, but why you need a three-hours afternoon marathon of that on the weekends?
I suggests that in few years, Corus are going to axe Télétoon if they don't longer investing on any newer Canadian content... at all. It's all in the Corus' hands, and like that does happening to VRAK and Yoopa, Télétoon is going to be shutdown completely in the indifference if today's audiences are elsewhere. The Netflix, Disney+ or Prime animated contents are more varied and impressive than what Télétoon have on its table. Besides to a very Auto-Pilot line-up.
This is parts why the cutdown of Télétoon Rétro deemed necessary with its overlap to playing the same shows for a short lifetime. The service was cut the same day as Avis de Recherche (or ADR), which it was an essential service for families who have lost a relative or missing childrens. The CRTC should to never cut them, if that was by this that thieves, child/drugs traffics and criminals could be stopped in no time. Such tragic that Télétoon keep to be playing by claiming it at a legacy for Corus, even if the name itself was one that the animation-bubble on the Internet raving that at a nightmare, from its soulless corporation to change anything to what creators having on mind to just copy American animation with its gross, sadistic and vulgar jokes in every sequences. If you ask, even several YTVs original animated shows suffered of that in the long '10s era. Unless the YTV/Teletoon shits, Canadian animation was somehow better when they're in the educational segments.
